For sale on eBay, this 1987 Renault 11 Turbo is a rare classic hot hatch that’s becoming increasingly hard to find, especially in almost original condition. Owned for the past two years, it has been well-maintained, with a recent MOT valid until January 2026 and a service completed in September. The car runs beautifully, thanks to a reconditioned turbocharger and carburettor, and the engine has been expertly tuned by GT Turbo Spares. Mechanically, it’s sound and reliable, making it an excellent choice for those who want a fun, retro driving experience.
Cosmetically, the bodywork needs some attention, including rust around the windscreen and sunroof, a dented bonnet, and faded respray that doesn’t quite shine as it should. The interior is in great condition with only minor wear, and it remains 99% original, maintaining its classic 80s charm. Despite some cosmetic imperfections, it’s structurally solid and a true survivor, ideal for enthusiasts who can do their own bodywork. With only a few years left until it becomes tax and MOT exempt, this rare Renault 11 Turbo is a great investment opportunity for collectors and fans of 80s hot hatches.

Mechanically it is in good condition, it starts, runs and drives well and pulls as hard as it should do. It has recently had the turbocharger and carburettor reconditioned, and the engine has been set up nicely by the lads at GT Turbo Spares. The car is in need of some bodywork, it has had a respray at some point which is not the best, so it never really gleams even after a clean sadly. There are some areas of rust that will need addressing such as under the windscreen and around the sunroof (which has been sealed with clear duct tape). There is some rust on the front of both doors which will need ……” READ MORE …
